I think that it looks great, Judy. the only very small thing that I might change---and others might not agree---is that the Quakers in the first decade of the 1800's didn't really move west.....I am not familiar with the families who moved south...or if there were a few who moved to TN....but most of the families that I am familiar with moved northwest to the non-slave states of Ohio and Indiana with the mass exodus of the Quaker families out of the south in the first decade of the 1800's. I am not sure that it is worth changing.....but since you asked for input, I thought that I would make that statement. marsha On Dec 30, 2010, at 4:11 PM, Judith F.

Arne, Nice to meet you. Sorry for the typo, Miami Meeting and Caesar's Creek cemetery are both in Warren Co., O. This is a little awkward... back in 1999, I was in contact with the Warren County Genealogical Society in Lebanon, Ohio. They were the ones who explained to me that the meetinghouse was in Clinton Co., and the cemetery was in Warren Co. One of the maps they sent is of Clinton county and it shows Caesar's Creek Reservoir well east of the Warren/Clinton county line in Chester twp. I've looked at the area on GoogleEarth and the reservoir is very close to the county line but inside Warren Co. The meetinghouse was moved to a place called Pioneer Village, but well inside Warren Co. WCGS sent a second map of "Warren County Cemeteries." Hand-written in the right margin are the words "Caesar's Creek No. 2 Cem." with a line drawn down to just east of Harveysburg, south side of the reservoir. Do you know of a cemetery at each end of the reservoir, north & south? At the time I had no reason to question their info. As close to the county line as Caesar's Creek is, there was probably a little confusion as to its exact location. I was sent a compilation of burial records of Caesar's Creek 1802-1970 by Ruth Carey Haines with inscriptions copied by Mrs. Frances (Jackson) Baldwin and Helen & Guy McCoy of Xenia. It is 20 printed pages long listing many cousins buried there. I also dealt with a volunteer named Diana Linkous in July 1999. Can you straighten this out? Thank you for the links I have not seen these before! Bob Cooke Bob, You indicated in your message that the Miami MM was in Miami County, Ohio and the Caesars Creek MM was in Clinton County, Ohio. I believe that they both were in Warren County, Ohio.

Howard, According to my research Solomon Cook (1821-1900) was not descended from Isaac & Charity (Wright) Cook. Solomon was the son of Nathan B. Cook (1795-1864) & Anna Wickersham (1797-1874) who were married 11mo. 1, 1815 at White Water Mtg., Wayne Co., Ind. Nathan B. Cook was the son of Thomas Cook, Jr. (1751-1805) & Mary Mills (1750-1820) who married 1mo. 30, 1772, at New Garden Mtg., Guilford Co., N. Carolina. Isaac (1743-1820) was the older brother of Thomas Cook Jr., sons of Thomas Cook & Mary Underwood. There was some confusion as to where Isaac & Charity were buried. A. I. Newlin explains the problems in his book, "Charity Cook - A Liberated Woman." All of their children (10) were born before they removed to Ohio. >From Bush River Mtg., in S. Carolina, on 10mo. 26, 1805 Isaac and wife were granted a cert. to Miami Co., Ohio, that was received at Miami MM, Miami Co., Ohio, on 1mo. 9, 1806. On 5mo. 28, 1814, Caesars Creek MM granted a cert. for "Isaac & w" to White Water Mtg., Wayne Co., Ind., where it was accepted on 8mo. 27, 1814. At this point there are apparently missing records.* The next records for Isaac & Charity has them back in Ohio at Caesars Creek MM, who granted a cert for "Isaac & w" to Silver Creek-Salem MM, Center/Union Co., Indiana, on 7mo. 30, 1819. Isaac died 6 months later and was buried at Silver Creek-Salem Meeting. Charity died two years later at Caesars Creek and is buried in the cemetery for Caesars Creek Friends. Caesars Creek Meetinghouse is in Clinton Co., Ohio, the cemetery is in Warren Co., Ohio. *My only source for these records are the six parts of Willard Hiess's EAQG Vol VII Indiana. There may be other sources for any missing records. Charity is recorded buried at Caesars Creek: COOK, Charity dec. 13 of 11 mo-1822 (76yrs 11m 11d) Caesars Creek (Friends) Cemetery Warren Co., Ohio Inscriptions copied by Anita Short 1964 The records of Warrington MM show two visits Charity made to Warrington Meeting, York Co., Pa., in 1809 and in 1820 after Isaac's death. Warrington Meeting is my family's meeting. No kidding!? Being approached like that must have been exciting for you, all these years later, wow. I know of the record for Charity, but no details. What did you mean by "the way Cane Creek handled the affair"? What happened that would prompt an apology some 200+ years later?! I am in the middle of moving myself. Have a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years!! Cousin, Bob Cooke In a message dated 12/18/2010 9:18:43 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, Howwcook@aol.com writes: Bob Cook, Thanks for the good info. I will check this information after I get moved later this month. I am sure that Solomon Cook was descended from Charity and Issac Cook. Several of Charity's off spring including Thomas Cook ( my line) next went to Whitewater MM from Ceasars Creek, OH where Charity is buried. I think Issac is buried in Indiana. My books are packed away because of my in process move. The marriage to son of Nele Davis from Baraboo, WI and Whittier, CA is of interest to my wife as she is a cousin to Nele Davis and we have a lot of information on Nele both in WI and CA. Issac Cook, married to Charity Wright Cook at Bush River, SC and his siblings, originally before going to Bush River came to NC, both Cane Creek and Deep Creek. I have other ancestors from Deep Creek, NC. I am sure you know that Charity was accused of "carnal relations" as written in the minutes, with a boy at Cane Creek, NC. The broohaw that followed, caused Rachel Wright and family including Charity to sell thier 800 acre farm at Snow Camp, NC and move to Bush River. All of this is well documented. When I attended the 250th anniversary of the founding of Cane Creek in 2001( co-founded by Rachel Wright and Abagail Pike), the Cane Creek minister came up to me and my sister and apologized for the way Cane Creek handled all of this Charity affair 230 years ago. In any case I will be back to you when I get moved. Thanks again for the info. Howard Cook

WPA cemeteries http://www.tngennet.org/monroe/cems/wpacem1.htm#_Toc440865677 KIMBROUGH FAMILY CEMETERY Copied by: Lawrence McConkey, Englewood, Tennessee. Date: Feb. 1, 1939. The first Kimbrough to come to this country in colonial days was John Kimbrough, of Irish descent. The next record concerns Bradley Kimbrough Sr., who married Sarah Thompson, a daughter of a wealthy planter of South Carolina. Their third son, Duke, was born in Rowan Co., North Carolina Nov. 19, 1762. At the age of 21 years he came to what is now Jefferson Co, Tenn. He married Mary Gentry, a daugher of Robert Gentry, who lived near Dandridge. Gentry gave them a fine farm there, where they lived for some time. Then bought a farm near Mossy Creek (now Jefferson City). To this union was born one child, Mary Kimbrough, who married William Chilton. Duke Kimbrough’s wife having died, he then remarried. His second wife was Susan Hunter, daughter of Isaac Hunter of Washington County, Tennessee. To this union was born four sons, William, Isaac, John and Elisha. Duke’s second wife died and he remarried again. His third wife was Eunice Carlock daughter of Christopher Carlock of near Dandridge. To this union was 9 children, 6 sons, and 3 daughters. Bradley and Robert G. Kimbrough were two of them. Duke Kimbrough became a Baptist in spite of his inherited prejudices which were strongly Episcopolian. Joined Baptist church that later became Dandridge church but then known is "Koonts Meeting House" 3 miles Northeast of Dandridge. Was 25th name on the membership roll. In July 1793 he was a leading member of the church. Ordained Aug. fourth Saturday 1797 at same church. He was pastor at that church from July 1799 to his death Sept. 21, 1849 -- over 50 years. Practically, Rev. Duke Kimbrough was a man of only two books - Bible and Hymn book. These he kept with him and constantly used - to young ministers especially he was living concordance to the Scriptures. Duke Kimbrough’s son, Isaac, married. Mary Randolph a daughter of James Randolph of Danuridge. He was born April 26, 1788. Duke’s son, Bradley, Married Martha H., a daughter of John J. Whitaker of Mulberry, Lincoln County, Aug. 31, 1837. He was born Nov. 3, 1799. In 1822 be began reading law with Jacob Peck, who was a State Supreme Court Judge. In 1824 the Supreme Court, which sat at Rogersville, gave him license to practice. He then located at Madisonville where he practiced as a leading attorney for 10 years. He was a representative of Monroe County in the State Legislature and as a member, he was appointed a member of the State Convention which remodeled the State Constitution in 1834. He refused to be a candidate for reelection the following year but chose to be a minister of the Gospel. He was ordained a minister by the Madisonville Baptist church in 1835. He later moved to Mulberry, in Lincoln County. He died on June 30, 1874. Robert G., another son of Duke Kimbrough was born July 24, 1806. Tutored some at a Methodist College at New Market. On Jan. 23, 1836 he married Lemira A., a daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Wheeler of Campbell County near Jacksboro. Moved there and in 1844 moved to Knox County. Died at his farm in Marshall County near Mars Hill. on July 22 , 1879. Dukes son , William, married Elizabeth Molder (or Mohler) of Jefferson County. They moved to Monroe County in the early 1820’s on a farm. They were the parents of eight children. Isaac Barton and John Mohler were two of them. William and Elizabeth both died before 1833 leaving several of their children quite young. Isaac Barton was only 7 years of age and there was one younger than he. Isaac Barton Kimbrough a grandson of Duke, was born Feb. 10, 1826 near Madisonville on July 29, 1847 at the age of twenty one, he married Mary J. Henderson. He was also ordained a Baptist Minister in Autumn of 1852 by Shady Grove Church. In 1875 he moved to what is now Jefferson City and became financial agent of Mossy Creek College or Carson College. In 1876 Carson College in recognition of his ability and merit, conferred upon him the honorary title, Doctor of Divinity. In 1879 he moved with his family to Texas settling in Collin County. He is buried at Plano, Texas. John Mohler Kimbrough, a grandson of Duke and a son of William, was born Dec. 10, 1813. He married Mary E. Ragon. The cemetery in question is his families. The Kimbrough family has been and still is one of Monroe County’s outstanding families. There were several preachers and doctors of note among the Kimbrough family. The Kimbrough family is related to several influential families. Among them are the Cooke, Peck, Kefauver, Henderson, Reagon, Cantrell and other notable families. The Kimbrough Cemetery was established about 1820 on the Coldwell family farm, either as a Colwell family or as a neighborhood cemetery. There have been many burials in this cemetery, but none have tombstones except the Kimbroughs’. That is why it is known as the Kimbrough Cemetery. There are about 100 unmarked graves. The cemetery is located 3 miles East of Madisonville, on the old Henderson farm, on the road leading to Provo. My note on John J. Whitaker above: DOCTOR Robert Martin, Having permanently located himself, respectfully tenders his professional services to his friends, and to the public: While he cordially acknowledges the support he has hitherto received, he pledges himself that nothing on his part be wanting to give satisfaction, as he will attend promptly and faithfully to the calls of those who may favor him with their patronage. He will attend to the practice of MEDICINE and SURGERY, in its several branches. He resides at Mr. John J. WHITAKER's, six miles from Fayetteville, on the Mulberry road, where he may generally be found . . .

Howard, Thank you, I appreciate it very much. The "e" was added to my name by my gr. grandfather, William Ramsey Cooke (1852-1938) in 1879. There were three cousins who added the "e." They did it because the original English Quaker records for Peter Cooke & Elinor Norman's 1695 marriage, spells the name with the "e." "Peter Cooke" I found the original records through LDS and I discovered that of the nine children born to Peter & Elinor, 5 are spelled with the "e" and 4 without. Just to make things more confusing... According to the record below, Drusill Cook's 1888 marriage was the first marriage at Whittier. Howard are you familiar with this family? This line did not come through Bush River MM South Carolina, they were through Deep River MM, in North Carolina. Bob Cooke ------------------------------- SOLOMON COOK Solomon Cook was born in Wayne County, Indiana, August 20, 1821, a member of the first Quaker generation of native Hoosiers in the White Water settlement that soon became known as Richmond, Indiana. It seems that these old Quaker families neighbored, worked, worshipped and migrated together through many generations. Every generation saw them seeking a new land far away. From 1800 to 1820 the Cooks, Harveys, Browns, Williams and other neighbor families went from slavery country to free lands north of the Ohio. In the 1830s they moved, in almost company formation, from eastern Indiana to the Aroma community in Hamilton county. In the 50s they went on to Wisconsin. After the Civil War it was on to Dakota. And then the last big move to the Quaker Colony at Whittier, Calif... And as they moved, they married and begat new generations of Friendly People on the Move. Solomon Cook married, 1845, Mary A. Brown, the daughter of Fielder Brown and Martha Bundy. She was born in Wayne County, 1830, and died 1879 in Wisconsin. Solomon Cook passed away in 1900, in California. Mary Brown=Cook was a sister of Jabez Brown, a sister of Charlotte Brown who married Nathan Pickering, an aunt of the Sanford Pickering and Edna Pickering Bowts (who were at the Golden Wedding party for Manlief and Mary Williams), and a cousin to Mary Bundy Williams.

I was born in Whittier and am a birthright member of that meeting. Worth also mentioning are my wifes Welsh Quakers(Davis, Thomas, Cammack etc.) who did the PA to NC and SC to the midwest migration, but then went on to Baraboo Wisconsin and a portion (about 30 of them) who also then moved to Whittier, CA, aboout 1890. I also had portions of my mothers family, Quakers all, who went from NJ to Friendsville, TN and then to CA. Another branch of my mothers family (Browns, Cox, Davis, Allen) who migrated from NC (Cane Creek) to Kansas and then first to Estacada TX and then to Friendswood TX, which my great grandfather, Frank Brown with wife Mary Jane Allen Brown founded. My mothers father, Frank Brown Jr. then went on in the early 1900's to Whittier. On these later 1800 and 1900 migrations, Quakers went to places where they had Quaker friends and whose families they had known and traveled with before in PA, NC, SC, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois. Thier Quaker friends and family were one great big "extended family" who traveling together and made a huge impact as the moved throughout the US. Another facet of these migrations are the Quaker Colleges and Universities, founded by Quakers in all of these locations (I am a graduate of Whittier College) Such schools as Bryn Mar, Swarthmore, Guilford in NC, Friends U in Kansas, Earlham in Indiana, George Fox in OR, Whittier, to name just a few of the Quaker colleges. I have also considered writing a book on these migrations AND also the Quaker impact on cultural revolutions in education, freedom of religion, hospitals, Indian affairs, Abolition, Feminism (read "Mothers of Feminism" by Bacon), womens sufferage, once again to only mention a few of the huge cultural changes made or largely influenced by Quakers. All of this by only slighty over 100,000 Quakers out of the total US population today, fewer numbers in the previous centuries. Howard Cook

Those of you who already know the religious inclination of your kin are fortunate. Having had over eleven homes in my life, I barely know source of my own roots, much less those of my distant kin. I've studied many years, however, and have notes from at least one Quaker community, Friensville, TN, where all my dad's roots have been since at least 1810 Greene CO, TN, when John W. Kinser b 1793 VA married Susannah Messimore/Messimer b 1792/3 PA. John and Susannah's line went various places, including to the Friendsville, TN, area. I'd love to connect with others who are related on his lines that also include Burton, Kittrell, Greenway, McClain, Wampler. I know that, like all early families, my line also migrated together, although there are always kin who went another direction...just as they do today. I have a number of books and notes from all E TN locations. Like Indiana later, E TN was the crossroads of many migrations in all directions. My mother's people have also been involved in what may be Quaker communities, especially the Whitakers of Buncombe CO, NC, where Senator James Whitaker married the wife of Howard Walker. Eventually this family had roots that went to E TN and stayed in Roane/Monroe/Loudon/Blount CO's, TN. Surnames include Duncan/dunkin, Green, Hooker, Watkins, Moore, Byerley/Bierly (of Neweberry CO, SC), Hart, Aiken/Aken/Akens/Akin (also in the other family a second time). I have many notes made in libraries during my own migrations, as well as from studies through about 25 years, but I'd like to find more about the personal side of these people. Doris

There were three mass Quaker migrations. Various Cook families were involved in each. The first out of Pennsylvania south to the Carolina's, Georgia, began about 1750.

To DKF and others, I found the information below very interesting. I am chairing the Descendents of Valentine Hollingsworth Sr. Society reunion in the Wilmington, Delaware/Elkton, Maryland area next June (9-12). Can anyone recommend a speaker/source of information on the early Quakers (ca. 1700), specifically, the Hollingsworths? You can respond to me off-list at wjh@filmtecinc.com.

One other I've heard him mention and which we all know from our own families: Quakers stuck with Quaker and former Quaker families even many generations after they had ceased being listed on meeting rolls. Was it the shared sense of primary values, the comfort of old names and neighbors passed down with the oral history? The occasional intermarriages between allied families? No comments on Quakers and their relationship to Presbyterians?
